New report says major Android update ‘Project Hera’ is real

A report from Android Policesaid earlier this week that Google is working on a major update for Android that will offer users some advanced multitasking features, including bridging web-related activities performed under the same Google account on Android, Chrome and the web, as well as featuring new design elements. Now, a mysterious Redditor is apparently ready to confirm the existence of Project Hera – which is the codename of this Android update – providing a screenshot of it in the process.

“You’ve probably seen the article on [Android Police] about Project Hera and the supposedly redesign of Gmail. Well, those mock-ups are wrong,” Reddit user androidleaker said from a “throwaway account.” “Here’s a screenshot of the real upcoming version of GMail. It may be a little outdated since it is taken from a development version, but it can give you an idea of what to expect from Project Hera.”
